Transmitters for use in industrial-process control systems - Part 3: Methods for performance evaluation of intelligent transmitters

specifies the methods for reviewing the functionality and the degree of intelligence in intelligent transmitters, for testing the operational behaviour, as well as the static and dynamic performance of an intelligent transmitter as well as methodologies for determining the reliability and diagnostic features used to detect malfunctions; and determining the communication capabilities of the intelligent transmitters in a communication network.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2006-05-01. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.
